@czarbucks #Firefly @AE4WX @amyedge @ai6yr @Jennifer @lckrohjr Good morning! Coolish morning here in the Glen, so the back door is open and squirrel TV is live. Tilly in particular is enjoying the view. Calli is pouting because the front door is closed.
My daughter is over cleaning today and I have groceries to pick up, so will be laying low today and probably off line (unless the world gets crazier than it already is).
Stay cool. Have a calm Wednesday folks!
Fireflies are flying over a river in Kyoto.

FYI @czarbucks #AE4wx #firefly @amyedge
Two friends kept mentioning an old TV show called Firefly. I managed to find a boxset for 50p in a charity shop.
Is the reason they mentioned this show because there is a character called Book?
It's camp, on the nose, and mildly prophetic. And the dialogue is over-written.
One is intrigued.
"Firefly’s rocket suffers one of the strangest launch failures we’ve ever seen" by @arstechnica - After stage separation, an apparent collision between 1st & 2nd stage, likely during explosion of the 1st stage. 2nd stage rocket nozzle was damaged leaving it without enough thrust to reach orbit. Lockheed satellite lost. https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/04/fireflys-rocket-suffers-one-of-the-strangest-launch-failures-weve-ever-seen/ #Firefly #Alpha #rocketry #NewSpace #business
Today's #Firefly Alpha launch was a total failure. "Initial indications showed Alpha's upper stage reached 320 km in altitude," the company now says in https://x.com/Firefly_Space/status/1917279887955746991: "However, upon further assessment, the team learned the upper stage did not reach orbital velocity, and the stage and payload have now safely impacted the Pacific Ocean in a cleared zone north of Antarctica."
Oops, the #Firefly Alpha launch with a test satellite didn't go well (as had already been speculated about in https://bsky.app/profile/cosmicpenguinov103.bsky.social/post/3lnxg2b5n6c2r by an independent observer): "there was a mishap during first stage separation for the FLTA006 mission that impacted the Stage 2 Lightning engine nozzle, putting the vehicle in a lower than planned orbit," says Firefly in https://x.com/Firefly_Space/status/1917224544009388270 now (the launch webcast, outsourced to a space fan organisation, hadn't mentioned any anomalies).

"And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill'em right back.
Look, wife or no, you are no one's property to be tossed aside. You got the right, same as anyone, to live and try to kill people. I mean ... you know ... people that are ...
... That's a ... that's a dumb planet."

I am thrilled that this talk by #firefly about the first private soft landing on the moon in history is finally publicly announced. We're often happy when we see all the use cases. But spaceflight and moon landings? That's up there with #LHC.

#Falcon1 failed three times before tasting success. #Spectrum is somewhat larger and more capable than Falcon 1, with performance in line with #Firefly's Alpha rocket.
The fully assembled Spectrum rocket stands about 28 meters
